A breathtaking half iron distance triathlon. Starting in Gordon's Bay & ending in Hermanus.
ULTRA - 2km, 84km, 18km (100km PTO Collins Cup Format) (start Gordons Bay)
AQUABIKE - 2km, 84km (start Gordons Bay)
SPRINT - 750m, 20km, 5km (start Hermanus)
The Ultra will take place on what is possibly the most scenic and inviting triathlon course in SA, if not the world!
We start in legendary Gordons Bay to enjoy a protected swim with a vast transition area, then onto the insanely scenic, undulating bike leg taking you from Beach Road onto the magnificent Clarens Drive (with full lane closure outbound to Rooi Els) along the ocean shoreline and beneath the mountains, passing the quaint holiday villages of Pringle Bay, Betty's Bay and Kleinmond.
Only 730m of climbing, it's fun and fast. You'll bike your way past Arabella and Fisherhaven to Hermanus, leave your bike in transition on the cliff top, above the famous whale watching waters, and enjoy a fun scenic run tour of the holiday village.
You'll run on an interesting mix of road, trail and cliff paths to finish on the lawns of the iconic town, in front of the bustling restaurants, overlooking the old Harbour and Indian ocean stretching to the horizon.
This is rated by many as the most beautiful ultra distance triathlon course on the planet!
